Abstract
AAPG FOUNDATION PRATT II CONFERENCE
"PETROLEUM PROVINCES of the 21st CENTURY"
January 12-15, 2000
San Diego, California
Giant hydrocarbon potential still exists in Iran even
after prolific production for many decades. Currently Iran is operating about twenty-six
drilling 
rigs
and producing about 3.6 MMBOPD from about 1,200 wells in thirty-nine fields.
Since oil was discovered at M.I.S. in 1908 exploration has
extended on and offshore
to several provinces and regions of Iran. Oil production from the
Zagros fold belt dominates Iranian hydrocarbon production. Zagros reservoirs have been
developed in Jurassic, Cretaceous and Tertiary carbonates and clastics.
Despite the decades of exploration and production future exploration and field development opportunities appear to abound now aided by new technologies and tools.
